Kindle Direct Publishing vs Wattpad

Platform for publishing own books in Amazon Kindle - the largest bookstore, which accepts wide range of categories (fiction, business, children's books, comics, romance, etc.). Amazon takes a 30% commission on book sales, or 65% if the book is not within the recommended price range. For paperback books, the commission of KDP is approximately 40% of the price after deducting printing costs. Publishing a book is quite simple and takes only a few minutes - for formatting the file and adding metadata/pricing. KDP provides authors with free and simple self-publishing tools, giving them control over their book's content, design, price, audience and advertising. Authors retain ownership of their content and can make changes to their book at any time. Authors can also participate in the Kindle Unlimited subscription server and receive royalties for every page read.

Online community for writers and readers where users can publish own books, articles, stories, comics, poetry as well as read and discuss other users' work. The service already offers over 10 million free books, primarily in the young adult, romance and fanfiction genres. In addition to the permanent online library archive, new works are regularly added, some of which are only available to read as they are written. It can be used online via browser or mobile app. There are premium accounts that allow you to make your own books more visible. Wattpad has helped many writers gain recognition, whose works have subsequently been published or adapted into films.
